GoDice with roll20

For anyone who has GoDice they have made an official extension that integrates the dice with roll20 <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gorpg/aiocjnejgjkfolnbpjpjapogcocadlol" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gorpg/aiocjnejgjkfolnbpjpjapogcocadlol</a>

I can see how maybe straight rolls would work but what about linking the rolls with abilities and attacks? Does the API wait for you to roll when you click an attack or skill check?

API Scripter
It's a browser extension, so it isn't limited to API sandbox functions, and would in fact be objectively worse if it required an API script, since the Dice wouldn't function for Free and Plus users. There's a few ways the extension could handle the rolls and roll templates, would need to know someone who uses the dice to find out the direction they took. But this: Currently, it works solely on Roll20 and only for D&amp;D 5th edition-based sessions. Wouldn't really make much sense unless they're directly integrating the rolls into the roll templates. If I had to write the extension, I'd be intercepting rolls sent from the user's browser (an extension can do this before the chat message is posted to firebase or other users), then prompt for the GoDice roll, swapping Roll20's quantum roll requests for the straight d20 value from the dice before releasing the roll template to server/firebase. That seems the most obvious route, but they might have gone in a different direction.

I saw that as well. Logically one can assume that is the case but I've been burned before with other kinds purchases. I tried finding a post or video showing the RPG dice working with Roll20 in the way I hope it would but no such luck. The best I found was a screen shot was showing an advantage/disadvantage roll in the link provided by the OP.&nbsp;

I posted before about building a Chrome extension to integrate GoDice into Roll20. Thanks for posting this Guy L,&nbsp; I wasn't aware of this extension. I end up developing my own custom extension way before they even supported the D&amp;D shells, but according to their license I couldn't publish it. I'll try this one too.&nbsp; Edit: My custom extension only shows the straight roll using the default template.&nbsp;

The GoRPG Chrome Extension has been updated, go ahead and try the new version, it's now supports also Foundry VTT and Discord platforms.
